           Db                       Bbm                       Gb       Ab
I've been trying for hours just to think of what exactly to say
               Db                         Bbm
I thought I'd leave you with a letter or firey speech
              Gb                        Ab
Like when an actor makes an exit at the end of a play


               Db
And I've been dying for hours
          Bbm                              Gb         Ab
Trying to fill up all the holes with some sense
             Db                         Bbm
I'd like to know how you faded and you threw it away
             Gb                                Ab
I'd like to give you all the reasons and what everything meant


              Fm                         Ebm
Well I could tell you good-bye or maybe see you around
             Db                   Bbm
With just a touch of a sarcastic thanks


            Gb                         Ebm
We started out with a bang and at the top of the world
         E                       Ab
Now the guns are exhausted, the bullets are blanks

And everything's blank


Db6        Db            Fm                 Gb           Ebm
If I could only find the words then I would write it all down
           Db          Fm            Gb    Ebm
If I could only find a voice I would speak
         Db          Fm                Gb        Ebm
Oh, it's there in my eyes so can't you see me tonight
          Bbm            Ab           Db
C'mon and look at me and read 'em and weep

          Bbm            Ab           Db
C'mon and look at me and read 'em and weep


            Db                        Bbm                    Gb     Ab
I've been whispering softly trying to build a cry up into a scream
            Db                         Bbm
We let the past slip away and put the future on hold
         Gb                       Ab                   Ab7
Now the present is nothing but a hollowed out dream


               Db
And I've been dying for hours
          Bbm                              Gb         Ab

But now the rooms are all empty, the candles are dark
     E                          Ab
The guns are exhausted and the bullets are blanks

And everything's blank

          Bbm            Ab           Db
C'mon and look at me and read 'em and weep

         Db          Fm              Gb               Ebm
Oh, it's there in my eyes and coming straight from my heart
             Db         Fm        Gb  Ebm
It's running silent and angry and deep
         Db          Fm            Gb        Ebm
Oh, it's there in my eyes and it's all I can say
          Bbm            Ab           Db
C'mon and look at me and read 'em and weep


                      Gb          Ab             Db
(Read 'em and weep) - For all the hours we'll be spending alone
                      Gb      Ab           Db
(Read 'em and weep) - For the dreams we'll ignore
                            Gb                        Fm          Bbm
(Running silent and deep) - And all those promises we promised to keep
Ebm           Ab      Db
They won't be kept anymore

                      Gb                     Ab         Db
(Read 'em and weep) - For the magic that our bodies had made
                      Gb      Ab            Db
(Read 'em and weep) - For the blood that we lost
                            Gb          Fm              Bbm
(Running silent and deep) - And all the secrets that we somehow betrayed
         Ebm      D
Ooh, whatever the cost


                      Gb         Ab              Db
(Read 'em and weep) - For the memories still alive in the bed
                      Gb         Ab         Db
(Read 'em and weep) - For the lies we believed
                            Gb                                    Fm         Bbm
(Running silent and deep) - And all the things that we'll have never been said
              Bbm             Ab           Db
Why don't you look at me and read 'em and weep
           Bbm            Ab
C'mon and look at me and read 'em


      Db         Fm              Gb               Ebm
It's there in my eyes and coming straight from my heart
             Db         Fm        Gb  Ebm
It's running silent and angry and deep
     (Db)         Fm        Gb        Ebm
It's there in my eyes, it's all I can say
          Bbm             Ab           Db
C'mon and look at me and read 'em and weep
